The tarmac is extremely degraded, making the climb unpleasant. Avoid it on the way down, but do it on the way up, as the setting is pleasant and the gradients correct, unlike the other side. Shortly before the summit, the tarmac is perfect and the gradients a little gentler, and you know you've reached the end. There's no plate at the top of this slope, the plate is a little further on and on the other side of the road.

Bitume extrêmement dégradé rendant la montée peu agréable. A éviter absolument en descente, faisable en montée, le cadre est agréable et les pourcentages correct, contrairement à son autre versant. Peu avant le sommet on retrouve un bitume parfait, on retrouve alors des pourcentages un peu plus cléments et vous savez que vous arrivez au bout. Pas de plaque au sommet pour ce versant, la plaque se situe un peu plus loin et de l'autre côté de la route
